Abstract


This study aimed to investigate differences in postural stability between adolescents with scoliosis and typically developed peers.

Researchers conducted a cross-sectional study of 75 participants (53 male, 22 female) divided into two groups. The first group consisted of 35 adolescents with scoliosis (aged 17.15 ± 1.31 years; BMI 22.3 ± 2.6), while the second group consisted of 40 typically developed peers (aged 16.74 ± 1.3 years; BMI 22.6 ±2.5 females). The CONTEMPLAS 3D Kinematic System measured the level of scoliosis, while researchers used the Force Plate and double leg standing test to measure postural stability parameters.

Adolescents with scoliosis demonstrated significantly lower postural stability in the Center of pressure (p<0.001), Length function of surface (p<0.001) than typically developed peers. Furthermore, adolescents with scoliosis had higher Anterior-Posterior displacement of COP (p<0.001) and Medio-Lateral displacement of COP (p<0.001) compared to typically developed peers, indicating lower levels of postural stability.

This study suggests that adolescents with scoliosis have lower postural control and balance than typically developed peers. The findings highlight the importance of identifying and addressing these issues to optimize the health and well-being of adolescents with scoliosis.
